Customer Request

Hi! We’re a biotechnology company providing advanced synthesis & design tools and expert services in polymer industry. We are looking to build a user-friendly & customized UI which simulates specific chemical processes (e.g. polymer synthesis, polymer recycling) over exisitng backend. Could you help us with that?

Hello! That sounds like a fascinating project with a strong scientific impact. We can design and build a modern web interface over your simulation engine, making it much easier to configure cases, run experiments, and visualize results. Let’s schedule a call to explore your needs in more detail.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenges

Complex and outdated workflow

To run a simulation, customers had to edit huge text files and type commands in the terminal. The process was slow and easy to mess with.

Unflexible and inconsistent configuration

Because each simulation type required many unique parameters and dependencies, the setup forms became too long and complex, without adapting dynamically to the user’s needs.

No visualization & progress tracking

Simulation results were only available in raw tables and static graphs. There were no real-time feedback, no centralized dashboard, and no functionality to stop or adjust a simulation mid-process.

Solutions

Web UI over the Fortran engine

We built a middleware layer (user-friendly UI) that processes input & output data, launches simulations remotely, and collects the results. Users interact only with the web application, without touching the command line.

Configurable dynamic forms

We created a flexible form system that adjusts to each simulation type and changes dynamically depending on the user’s input. This allows quick setup of new cases and easy scaling.

Interactive dashboard with real-time updates

We developed a result dashboard with tables and customizable charts. Users can monitor simulations in real-time, stop them early if needed, and explore different metrics through interactive plots.

main features

Real-Time Results

Users can watch simulations in real time through interactive dashboards with tables and charts. They see first results within minutes, track progress without delays, and can stop or adjust runs immediately if something looks wrong.

Dynamic Forms

Input forms change automatically based on the experiment type chosedn, polymers used, orgoals of the research thus showing only the fields that are relevant for the case.

Secure Multi-Team Access

Multiple teams or departments can work independently on the same platform, each with isolated data and configurations. Combined with two-factor authentication, this ensures high security and seamless collaboration without data mix-ups.
